PlateJoint

class compas_timber.connections.PlateJoint[source]

Models a plate to plate interaction.

Parameters:

plate_acompas_timber.elements.Plate: The first plate.
plate_bcompas_timber.elements.Plate: The second plate.
topologyliteral(JointTopology): The topology in which the plates are connected.
a_segment_indexint: The index of the segment in plate_a’s outline where the plates are connected.
b_segment_indexint: The index of the segment in plate_b’s outline where the plates are connected.
**kwargsdict, optional: Additional keyword arguments to pass to the parent class.

Attributes:

plate_acompas_timber.elements.Plate: The first plate.
plate_bcompas_timber.elements.Plate: The second plate.
platestuple of compas_timber.elements.Plate: The plates that are connected.

Methods
